DSLR Cameras
None of the top camera brands make bad cameras or lenses,” says Todd Vorenkamp, Senior Creative Content Writer for B&H’s Explora blog. “If you love Nikon, you can stay with it and be happy forever. That goes with any other camera brand. But, if you’re looking to shake things up, you may want to change systems,” he adds.

Sometimes you can’t beat a classic, even in the fast-paced, ever-changing world we live in today. Despite rapid and continuous evolution in the digital camera world, or constant improvements to optical design, new high-tech fabrics in bags, lightweight carbon fiber tripods, and so on, there are some photographic items out there that defy the need to evolve. They were simply perfected years ago, and are still available today to perform the same tasks they did back when they were cutting edge.

While it may be a little unfair to present this as a “versus,” the introduction of the 5DS/5DS R and 5D Mark IV over the past couple of years has made the camera-buying decision a little more complicated. Photographers, especially,
Building upon its relatively new mirrorless line, Leica has just released the TL Mirrorless Camera, an upgrade to the manufacturer’s first mirrorless camera that brings it more in line with the L-series rebrand. Based on the original T, the TL features the same solid aluminum-alloy unibody construction that made it so unique
When introduced a few years ago, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 raised the bar in terms of what we should expect from a pro-quality Micro Four Thirds camera. It was solid, extremely well designed and engineered, and it performed as advertised. The new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II shares all of these commendable attributes and then some.

If the sight of an impeccably maintained Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, Ferrari 512M, a Formula Ford, BMW CSL, Caldwell D7, or an orange “Dukes of Hazard” Dodge Challenger make your heart throb, you owe it to yourself to visit the Saratoga Automobile Museum, in Saratoga Springs, NY. Even if you’re not into cars, the museum is located smack dab in the middle of the Saratoga Spa State Park, a 2,500 acre park with awesome scenery and air as sweet as honey.
After showing off its flagship at photokina, Olympus has now officially released the OM-D E-M1 Mark II Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera. Internally, the two major improvements for this camera are the use of a new 20.4MP Live MOS sensor with improvements to dynamic range and sensitivity and the TruePic VIII Image Processor, which has a dual quad-core design that is 3.5x faster
Leapfrogging the more conventional full-frame formats of most companies, Fujifilm has made a daring leap into the medium format realm with the introduction of its GFX camera system. The star of this show is obviously the large 43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor at the heart of the GFX 50S Mirrorless Camera.

Along with this camera, Fujifilm developed the G mount with a short flange distance of 26.7 mm, meaning your older medium format lenses can be adapted. And for fans
Olympus has apparently been busy over the last few months. The company is opening up Photokina with a packed announcement consisting of a trio of M.ZUIKO Digital ED lenses, including a 30mm f/3.5 Macro, 25mm f/1.2 PRO, and
Considered an abandoned system by many, Sony is proving many people wrong with the announcement of a new A-mount flagship camera: the a99 II. Borrowing many of the highlights of the mirrorless E-mount a7R II, the a99 II comes complete with a 42.4MP full-frame sensor, internal 4K recording, 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization, fast phase-detection AF, and
